Goose Egg

By Beth’s firm request I title this post “Goose Egg.”  It has become somewhat of an affectionate nickname for me after this Saturday.  For the backstory…. after a morning of biking with Tim and Dave I came back home to get some work done around the house.  I have been working on getting the back yard ready to plant grass and so I continued digging up the old broken sprinkler system.  I had been working my way down the line with a pick and before I realized it I found myself under the clothesline.  So after swinging the pick overhead I felt it catch on the line and watched it as it slung back toward my forehead.  I was lucky that it rotated somewhat so that the sharp end didn’t come back at me.  Instead, I got the flat metal side where it attaches to the handle.  It didn’t feel to good and after a few minutes of laying on the ground I went inside to surprise Beth.  But it didn’t take long to get back out into the yard to finish some things up before the England – US World Cup game.  The pictures below are from Beth wanting to document the injury.

While I watched the game, Beth made some awesome oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies for Krystal’s Baby Shower.  They were pretty awesome and I was sad that most were taken to the shower.  I know Beth had a good time at the shower though and we’re pretty excited about their baby coming soon.
